2015 Mini Hardtop 2dr Hatch

turbocharged 134hp 1.5L I3 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

38000 mi Had a check engine light appear. Scanned code and system reported that the engine was running rich. Car was fine at the time, but the next day car was buckling at low RPM. Dealership found out of spec fuel injectors. Replaced all three fuel injectors, as well as replaced valve cover gasket with new version and performed oil change. Also updated software. Car runs really well now so I'm guessing injectors were going bad for a while, but no code was thrown.

Oil line to turbo charger leaking. Replaced and replaced engine mount compromised by leaking oil 
4200 mi Replace faulty catalytic converter.

26000 mi Check engine light on, dealer found missing bolt causing MAF sensor to get bad reading. Replaced bolt to stop air leak. Possibly caused by work done for a recall on cam bearings back in April 2017.

Crankshaft pulley came apart while on a trip. Drove to repair shop less than a mile away. Pulley replaced.
